I mean if it works for 82,000 people in the 65 year old Mondragon Corporation in Spain, I’m sure it could work for Ubisoft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondr

Maybe what you mean is “if it works why isn’t it common” which is a much more nuanced question. I would say that McCarthyism and the Red Scare in the USA had a huge negative impact on the labor movement, and there has been a big propaganda push for individualist capitalism (which benefits the powerful) since then. People seem to think that if an idea isn’t common today, it’s not a good idea. But that ignores the possibility of an idea whose time as come, or a new good idea that hasn’t been tried yet.
Of course cooperatives are not new. Credit unions are member owned cooperatives. And of course there are many individually owned worker cooperatives. I’ll leave that for you to research but do see this directory of Bay Area cooperatives.
